Title: To my loving spouse.

How can you snore when I'm not sleeping
And all I need is some silence keeping?
So I can focus on the counting of sheep
And in 5 to 10 minutes I'll be fast asleep.

I've counted my flock more than 20 times over
I think that tomorrow I could get work as a drover.
Don't tell me a drovers for cows and not sheep
For the counting of cows can't put one to sleep.

It's 6 in the morning and the sheep have got hazy
I'm losing my count and getting quite lazy.
Yes I'm starting to drift on clouds made of wool,
But I'll have to get up now 'cos my bladders quite full.
